Re:Ask HN: Have you tried HEY mail? on Saturday June 20, 2020 @10:02AM (#23583981)
I tried it and yes, it's something.

Not sure it can handle thousands of emails and the UI doesn't look "professional" but there's a lot of good ideas and after a while, I guess it could be a new and effective way to use emails.

tldr: a work in progress :)

Not sure you'll be able to use it. Abandonnware?

I really love the nytimes but their use of google recaptcha is really boring. Guess I'll unsubscribe soon :(
Re:Ask HN: Do you think HN should add support for smileys? on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @03:31AM (#21750719)
Hell, no!
Trust no one.

No kidding. Trust must be earned, not advertised.

Every two other week, someone writes that openGPG is broken. Guess what they want to say is that if you use PGP in certain ways, it's broken (keyservers, addons like enigmail and so on). But nobody has ever been able to demonstrate that it's broken if you use it correctly. I'll stick with openGPG.
Re:Ask HN: How many email newsletter do you subscribe to? on Saturday June 29, 2019 @12:46PM (#20313513)
38
Captcha from hell, I pass :(
Kind of ridiculous. The author probably failed because he has two left hands. Installing Linux is most of the time really easy (and fast).
I failed to register due to the fucking google captcha. Guess this game is not for me. :(
Or buy your own chair.

Re:Ask HN: What public domain books are worth reading? on Sunday October 14, 2018 @04:43AM (#18211981)
Three men in a boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Kind of a funny book.
Mail Communication : Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo. Really good choices if you don't care about being hacked or giving away your datas.

Well, in Linux, complexity is a choice. In Windows, simplicity is mandatory and heuristic.
Re:Ask HN: Good Alternative Email Service? on Thursday April 05, 2018 @02:12PM (#16767423)
If you like privacy, Mailfence keeps your GPG private keys on their servers which should be avoided.
Windows?

But when you overwork, you're acting like a dork.
An other empty article from someone who switched from one OS to an other. (and nothing about the fact that windows sucks every bit of personal information).
